The Neighborhood Summer Band Concert that was scheduled to take place last Tuesday at Caswell Grove was postponed until Aug. 9.

The concert will start at 6:45 p.m. at East Taunton’s Caswell Grove, at 417 Middleboro Ave. Guests are encouraged to bring blankets and lawn chairs to the show.

The Tuesday concert, starring the Taunton City Band, was canceled due to inclement weather, organizers said.

The concert is dedicated to the memory of John B. Gonsalves, who conducted the city band from 1927 to 1967. Programs performed by the Taunton City Band are free to the public and are directed by Louis E. Perry, of Bridgewater.

The concert series will continue on Tuesday, Aug. 2, at the Taunton Housing Authority’s Fitzsimmons Arms. The concert starts at 6:45 p.m. Organizers said this program is dedicated to Richard J. Furtado, who was manager of the band for many years before he died in 2006, making Aug. 2 the five-year anniversary of his death.

The band will also be performing this week at the Stone Church of Raynham on Wednesday, Aug. 3 beginning at 7 p.m.
